(Quote) This was a personal crusade of mine in internal (balance team) discussions during Sewlek's development of the balance mod (which eventually became B250). I tried to explain why medpacks were too cheap in every way I could think of, but wa…

I don't know the situation here, but I did read this thread for some reason and y'all know I luv spreadin my 2 cents:
I think it's fair to say that (1) no viewmodels is probably an advantage as aliens, but (2) the advantage it confers is… -
The first Cologne event, Archaea vs. Exertus. Just an amazing experience altogether. Even after playing in over 30 tournament finals, playing live for the first time was a unique experience. The event also happened just a week after the game was lau…

Demo playback is essentially broken and will likely never be fixed. Pointless.

(Quote) And that pretty much answers the developer side of the question, as I proposed earlier.
Thanks for clearing up the licensing question, it turns out my memory was just as fuzzy as I feared -- I remembered it backwards!Ok, yeah, my bad. That actually clears things up a bit. At that point they were set on using Source to power the game (as evidenced by all the comments about Source in the blog posts I linked and the blog post you quoted from) but they wanted to use…This is the dynamic infestation concept post (unfortunately the video seems to be broken): http://unknownworlds.com/ns2/dynamic-infestation-2/
This is a later pos…The Source SDK was released in 2004. As for the cost, that would depend on the terms of the contract. I very much doubt it would've been remotely close to the number you just suggested. The very, very early stages of NS2 development was actually don…I think there are two ways of looking at it.
From a developer's point of view: Only UWE knows if it was worth it or not. That's an assessment of their bottom-line and player retention numbers.
From a player's point of view: I…(Quote) As much as I appreciate xDragon's monumental work on NS2c, it really wasn't anywhere close to NS1 quality. I don't think it's even physically possible to get there while using the Spark engine, the differences compared to goldsrc are simp…Good points and nice writeup. I've never had the patience to write one of these "how to get good" guides, but if I ever decided to make one, it would be very similar to this.
One very interesting point, which is often overlooked, is what…(Quote) Haha, oh well.
What I said still stands, though. Taking three rounds off of you in the final is very impressi…Congratulations to Snails for winning, and to eagleye for winning his fourth (!) live event in a row, and kudos to the organizers and casters for executing the live event without any major hitches. All in all the stream was a significant impr…(Quote) You have a lot of nerve complaining about my posting, considering it's all been in an effort to right your wrongs. Feel free to point out a single post I've made that hasn't been justified.Thanks for illustrating the quality of your participation in this community with another troll post, GORGEous. I hope you will kindly forgive me for initially being so enthusiastic about this tournament that I considered making a comeback. I'll be s…(Quote) Yes. Although even if I had written something that was false, that is still no justification for censorship. The lack of transparency and general hush-hush attitude that permeates the administration of this tournament is what I set out to…I really hoped this thread, and the changes the admins made as a result of it, had changed things, but it now seems that was overly optimistic.
During the match between Godar and Imagine (great match, go watch it), the specators were ask…Congrats to Ascension on the upset, I'm not sure why I'm being dragged into this though?Some quick thoughts/predictions regarding the qualifiers:
Group A
Also known as "Group Boring" (that would've made a lot more sense if this was Group B, sigh), with Legendary Snails all but guaranteed to take the top sp…Ok so, yeah, it turns out I did confuse myself. The pairings I was thinking of would only apply if the groups were seeded with Group A having seed1+seed5, Group B having seed2+seed6, Group C having seed3+seed7, and Group D having seed4+seed8.
<…Looking at it in depth, it's possible that I've managed to confuse myself. If it turns out I've messed up, I apologize for the trouble. My Internet is giving me some real headaches right now and I can't access the website I would normally visit to c…Edit: checking something lorfI'm obviously thrilled that the organizers have put their heads back in the game and sorted things out with Eissfeldt, the roster lock rule, and the six player rule. Good job guys, and thanks. When I wrote the OP I gambled that you would come to you…No significant mods were allowed at either of the events I attended; only very minor mods such as custom crosshairs. It wasn't a big problem, but it was a bit annoying.
Update your signature, Tane, you backstabbing bast.Well, Godar have the fourth seed, whilst Titus has the second seed, so that wouldn't actually be the wrong way to set up the groups, herakl3s. It would have to be done according to seedings though. It should be something like the following:Sorry to hear that, and GGs. All-In have been a staple in NS2 competitive play since the beginning.(Quote) I doubt this will help many of the affected players or teams, as 24 hours is a very limited amount of time to figure things out. You have to remember that these players and teams have already resigned themselves to their fate. Some may no…(Quote) I can't agree with this. How this tournament is run is highly relevant to the people who paid for it, and many of those people never visit the competitive forums. I would ask that you move it back to the general forums. When you move thin…(Quote) You've consistently ignored and stonewalled all suggestions and criticism, even when posted in your own feedback threads or through personal conversations. I welcome any comments you may have to clarify the situation, but trying to deflec…(Quote) This rule change was not discussed with Eissfeldt and Godar. I talked to Grissi after the final Eissfeldt decision -- which, contrary to what WasabiOne's post says, they were forced to accept -- and he told me they were planning to bring …
